I could try turning the shower off between needing to rinse. I can also keep a pitcher or cold water in my fridge so I don’t have to let water run to get cold.

Energy
Switch to Cold Water
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Simplicity
Less Screen Time
I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

Savannah Pearson 10/09/2018 12:58 PMI chose to read today instead of watching tv. I really was glad I did this because it reminded of how much I enjoy reading and helped me to take a break from social media. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?
Savannah Pearson 10/04/2018 7:35 AMWhen I don’t remember reusable bags I try to carry everything with my hands. If this is not possible I get paper instead of plastic because I can recycle it and it takes less time to decompose. I also try and fit as much into each bag as possible so I have to use less. It would be helpful if I kept a supply of reusable bags in my car, that way I would never forget them.
